Here's Denver. It's hard for people in Seattle to work up lots of hate toward Denver. It's not San Francisco or Portland. Seattle should like the "Mile-High City" nickname as you will see. The bad thing: Denver is rarely in Seattle's thoughts, except for now. It's Back East. Live in the left-hand corner of the country long enough and you think Denver is next to Chicago and an easy drive from New York. Denver Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau
